Great Legal Team!

This firm did a spectacular job! My ex made all kinds of threats including abusing my children! The case went to trial and I won on every single issue! Not only did I win but I left with full custody of my kids. Amanda helped on my case and prepared all of the proof needed for the court to see tha...t I was telling the truth and my ex was just trying to keep my kids from me. The entire office was great and I would recommend the Law Office of Heather Cullen to everyone who needs a custody attorney!

Great Lawyer; Bad company

Retained her for 6 months. Ex was trying to move away with my two children. Amanda did a great job. If your looking for an attorney to lie for you or sling mud (like my ex's attorney) don't retain her. I believe she is a moral person that does what is right. The company however, will not work with yo...u. You better have deep pockets. It was $20,000.00 for six months to my ex's $10,000.00 for a year. Their side got a trial and I was out of money. I had to go to trial with no attorney. They got a month to put on their lies and I got one hour. My beautiful children were taken from their top preforming schools and put in low performing by my ex. My ex isn't even home to care for them, it's his horrible girlfriend. They have been in their new schools since Jan. 2018. My 9 year old baby has been suspended several times and has become violent. I understand they had to call the police just today. It's such a sad situation. He also threw a rock at a teacher and a chair at his teacher. My poor children. It's horrific. I do have 50/50 and I have them on the weekends and in the summer, but my little guy is suffering and nothing is worth that. So just make sure you have a lot of money! if you do, she will get the job done.

Thank you for the kind words regarding my representation of you in your matter. I understand that family law matters are difficult and family law matters are emotionally and financially draining. It is difficult to resolve a matter when the opposing party and/or opposing counsel utilizes tactics that are not ethical or moral. However, the Law Office of Heather Cullen is dedicated to providing quality legal representation and regrettably the quality of that service is sometimes overshadowed by legal tactics. Please contact our office privately if you require additional assistance with any of the concerns you have listed herein. It is my sincere hope that remainder of your family law matter has been or will be resolved expeditiously and amicably.

Great Results!

My case was very scary – I had never been through any kind of legal issues and a full blown divorce wasn’t the best way to get my feet wet. Heather represented me in my case for many years and always was able to balance the aggressiveness required with the compassion that I needed. She has a kind st...aff and I was always able to get ahold of a real person whenever I needed anything. I recently had to use the office again on a modification issue and Amanda Naples was the attorney assigned to my case for the issue and she was impressive also. The attorneys are all well-educated and well-spoken and I have felt protected and well-represented each time I have had to go to court. My experience with the Law Office of Heather Cullen was excellent.

Amanda Very detailed

Amanda is very passionate about finding the truth on both sides. That is always what we wanted from an attorney and never had. Amanda is very honest she truly cares about children and family. I can't wait to see Amanda Naples get justice for my Grandson and his Father. If your looking up attorneys to... hirer Amanda Naples is the attorney. Lara family

Best Attorneys Hands Down

The Law Office of Heather Cullen provided the best legal representation I could ask for in my divorce case. Heather Cullen, Jillian Duggan-Herd and Amanda Naples all provided legal help on my case and made me feel total protection (like a TV legal team). Attorney Naples provided legal support on my... case that was invaluable My divorce is now complete; but, I am keeping Jill and Heather as my attorneys so that I feel safe until my kids are 18 and I don’t have to worry about being alone if I ever have custody issues. Luckily, if I need any legal help I won’t have to travel far now that the Riverside firm has an office in Temecula also. Hands down best attorneys in Riverside County!

"Having reviewed answers by Amanda )and more background on the firm website) I noticed something rare for attorneys on this site, she gives detailed answers to the askers.
